Version 2.1 Lesson 9: Internet Services and Tools for Business 9-3 Internet Resource Tools Internet resources can be used for a variety of purposes beyond the World Wide Web and e-mail. Many companies use mass e-mail and texting services for marketing and emergency broadcasts, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transmit larger files. Other tools, such as Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and Microsoft Terminal Services, are used by IT support desk personnel to access and fix computers in remote locations. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking maximizes the processing power of client computers, and TCP/IP diagnostic tools help you troubleshoot and solve problems. You can use these tools to complete tasks more efficiently. You will learn about these business tools in this lesson. You will also learn about proprietary software, open-source development, and the patent and licensing practices that accompany software programs and tools. ® CIW Online Resources – Movie Clips Visit CIW Online at http://education.Certification-Partners.com/CIW to watch a movie clip about this topic. Lesson 9: Internet services and Tools OBJECTIVE 1.7.9: Mass e-mail and texting services Mass E-Mail and Texting Services Two popular mass-marketing technologies used to push advertisements, promotions and emergency broadcasts to customers are mass e-mail and mass texting services. You are probably quite familiar with them, whether you know it or not. • Opt-in e-mail marketing — Opt-in e-mail marketing is used every day by companies and individuals alike. Often when you register at a business's Web site, such as Target.com, for example, you are asked if you would like to receive e-mails regarding special promotions or other types of updates. If you select "Yes," you have opted in and are added to an e-mail list server (list servers are discussed in the following section). Whenever Target has a promotion or a weekly advertisement they want to distribute, the e-mail server sends the promotional e-mail to everyone on the list. There can be hundreds or thousands of recipients. • Opt-in mass texting services — Opt-in texting services are similar, but are used most often on mobile devices. The service is technically a Short Message Service (SMS) used by phone carriers, not an Internet service, but it serves the same purpose as mass e-mail. If a user visits the Target Web site and sets up an account on his or her smartphone, Target will ask for the user's mobile phone number in order to receive the promotional text messages. The user's phone number is added to the texting service, and promotions can be sent directly to his or her phone. Both e-mail and texting mass-marketing technologies have a multitude of uses beyond marketing. List servers are used by schools to send e-mail messages to parents with school updates and emergency messages. Mass e-mail services include the LISTSERV e- mail list software and LISTSERV Maestro e-mail marketing software (www.lsoft.com). Mass texting services are also used by schools to send emergency messages. For example, after the shootings on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007, the university realized that e- mail messages regarding the emergency were not reaching the students. The students were using text messaging more than e-mail because they always had their mobile phones with them. In response, the university (and nearly every other university) began © 2014 Certification Partners, LLC. — All Rights Reserved. Version 2.1 9-4 Internet Business Associate using mass texting services for emergency situations. Mass texting services include AlertFirst (http:// alertfirst.com) and Club Texting (www.clubtexting.com). OBJECTIVE 1.7.10: E-mail List Servers listserve groups A list server is a server that automates the collection and distribution of messages from list server A server that an authorized group of participants, allowing collaboration among multiple users. A list collects and server differs from a mail server, which handles incoming and outgoing e-mail for Internet distributes users. information from an authorized group of participants, called A group of users that subscribes to a mailing list is called a listserve group. Participants a listserve group. can send an e-mail to the list server to join a specific group, or be added upon registering listserve group for a service. Once subscribed, they are placed on a mailing list of users authorized to Users who subscribe receive messages from the list server. When a traditional list server receives a message to an e-mailing list from a listserve group participant, it stores the message, then distributes it to the mailing through a list server. list. There are variations of list servers. As mentioned, traditional list servers allow participants to reply to messages that are broadcast to the entire listserve group. In business applications, it is usually a one-way transmission; users cannot respond to the advertisement or promotion. Mass text services usually work in the same one-way manner. How traditional list servers work A user who wants to join a listserve group simply sends an e-mail message to the list server. This request is often a blank e-mail message with a simple request in the Subject field. A request can be worded as follows: subscribe ciw Some list servers request that the same command also be placed in the body of the e-mail message. If the list server is configured to allow a particular user to join, the list server then sends a confirmation e-mail to the subscriber. Occasionally, users will attempt to subscribe other people to listserve groups. To prevent this practice, list servers often require the user to confirm the subscription before he or she is added to the mailing list. NOTE: List servers forward e-mail messages that are addressed to their mailing lists to the list's Listserve groups also respective listserve group. List servers typically forward e-mails, announcements, allow users to unsubscribe from newsletters or advertising to group members on a regular schedule or as events occur. the groups.

ABSTRACT THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto THINC is a new virtual and remote display architecture for desktop computing. It has been designed to address the limitations and performance shortcomings of existing remote display technology, and to provide a building block around which novel desktop architectures can be built. THINC is architected around the notion of a virtual display device driver, a software-only component that behaves like a traditional device driver, but instead of managing specific hardware, enables desktop input and output to be intercepted, manipulated, and redirected at will. On top of this architecture, THINC introduces a simple, low-level, device-independent representation of display changes, and a number of novel optimizations and techniques to perform efficient interception and redirection of display output. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of THINC. It also intro- duces a number of novel systems which build upon THINC's architecture to provide new and improved desktop computing services. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: • A high performance remote display system for LAN and WAN environments.

  • Connecting to the Rutgers Astrolab Server Remotely: VNC and File Transfer
    Connecting to the Rutgers Astrolab Server Remotely: VNC and file transfer You will use the Rutgers “Astrolab” server to analyze images and spectra. This document describes how to connect to your “Virtual Network Computing” (VNC) desktop environment on Astrolab from your own PC or laptop. This environment has image display and analysis tools that you will use with your data. Once the initial analysis is complete, it is often useful to transfer intermediate or final results to your own computer for further analysis or to write up your report. The second part of this document describes some file transfer tools. You will be given your username and password on the Astrolab system. The former is usually your last name (removing spaces and punctuation, if any) and the latter is the last six digits of your student ID number (with leading zeros if appropriate). Each of you has a unique 2-digit VNC session number; this will be the same number throughout the semester. VNC Desktop The best option for connecting to your VNC desktop depends on the operating system of your computer. Using the web browser to connect to your desktop works for any operating system, but confines the desktop to your browser window. For Windows machines, the best option is probably the TightVNC program (there is a MacOS equivalent program, but it seems to be somewhat flaky for later versions of the operating system). For MacOS, the recent few versions have a VNC server built in and this seems to work well. If you have a generic Linux machine, you probably know enough to set up a VNC server, but consult with us if you are having problems connecting.

In contrast to the common IEEE-488 bus (GPIB), were the cable length was rather limited, the network interface virtually makes distance between instrument and operator boundless. Windows XP based R&S instruments already provide a solution for remote access by means of Remote Desktop. This solution however, is limited to one user and the measurement graphics is shown either on the instrument or on the remote display but not on both simultaneously. This application note describes an approach with VNC (Virtual Network Computing) that allows multiple clients to access the same instrument at the same time.
